WannabeDetailed: 2008 G37 Coupe Black

This is my first ever write up, and I decided to document the entire process so I could do it.

1CleanG hit me up a while back about doing the exterior of his car this spring before our opening meet, and I obliged. Showed up at his house at 8am and didn't leave until 6. Was even there to unload his new wheels off the Fedex truck. Car needed some loving, especially in the clay department. Ended up polishing up very nicely and ended up getting about 90$ of the swirls and scratches. Could really use a slightly more aggressive polish, and learning to wets and would have helped with a couple deep scratches.

Anyways. Write up.

Armorall Wash (bleh, using it up )
Clay with Meguires Clay and Meguires Quick Detail
Polished with Meguires M105
Finishing Polish of Menzerna 106fa
Sealed with Blackfire Sealant
Waxed with P21S
Black WOW on Trim
Invisible Glass on Windows

Car Upon Arrival




Wash



Clay



Under the Lights







Polishing









Needed another pass


Checking



Final Product






Thanks!

If I drive 950 miles from DFW, can you detail mine?

Night and day difference! Great work Janik! Hope my detailing ability is as good as yours one day, I deff need to invest in a buffer.

And me rikey the reflection of the Work wheels in the background lol.

Thanks man! I really enjoyed watching this car transform. The paint literally glowed at the show today compared to the other black cars. I blew myself away with this car.

Super-nice job, J! It's a long, hard job but so worth it to look at your results at the end of the day. Just ordered a bit of product, so when it comes in I'll give Esmeralda her spring detail.
